Question
Hi, I bought a A/C recharge kit from the auto parts store, and Im trying to recharge my 1994 Toyota Celica.  According to the manual, I need to attach the recharge kit to the low pressure valve.  I can only seem to find the high pressure valve near the radiator, so can you give a picture or a description of where I attach the kit to?

Answer
If you are sure you have the high side(red cap marked H),look at the passenger side near the firewall.The low side should be there.It will have a small black cap with a letter L marked on top.Make sure it is the low side because it is highly dangerous to connect the gas to the wrong side.The a/c system is very high pressure and the can will explode if you do.
